This big boy is a 6 year old English Mastiff named Big Foot. He spent most of his life outdoors and didn't know what it was like to live indoors with a family. We realized that Big Foot never saw a vet and didn't seem to have his basic medical needs met. So, we gladly took him in, brought him to the vet, and placed him in a loving foster home with dog friends and an amazing foster mom. Big Foot is initially nervous when meeting new people but warms up quickly with proper introductions. His foster mom says that he is always happy, affectionate and loves to be pet. He needs to have the company of other dogs and would do well in a home with ... (Read More)dogs of all shapes and sizes. Big Foot seems to have a high prey drive when it comes to small animals such as squirrels, so we highly recommend him going to a home without cats. Due to his size, he would do also best in a home with children over the age of 10. Despite his stature, he is a big baby at heart. Big Foot is afraid of thunderstorms, fireworks and also of people approaching him too quickly. He gets anxious when people try to stand over him, so maybe he was disciplined this way in his previous home. He is not aggressive towards people, but sneaking up on him causes him to be very nervous. Big Foot definitely needs to have slow introductions when meeting new people and have his personal space respected. Big Foot is housebroken and only pulls slightly on a leash. He is however still learning some basic obedience skills and crate training. He is heart worm positive and will need to continue treatment in his new home at no cost to his new family.

Meet Rufus! He is a handsome English Mastiff mix that is 7 years old. Rufus came to us because his owners felt that he deserved much more attention than they were able to give him in their home. He is an easygoing dog that would love a family willing to take him on daily walks or runs. Since he is a dream on a leash, he is able to keep up without any pulling. Rufus gets along great with men and women, but prefers slow introductions where he is allowed to approach when he is comfortable and ready. He is great with kids, but due to his size, we recommend that he goes into a home with children over the age of 10. Rufus currently lives with ... (Read More)another dog, and they get along nicely. He doesn't seem to mind meeting dogs of all sizes on his daily walks either. Even though he does not live with cats, he does not seem interested in them whatsoever. We feel that with proper introductions to other animals, he will do great. Rufus is housebroken, leash trained, crate trained, and has mastered some basic obedience skills. He is very food motivated and easily trained, so he will catch on quick. Some of his favorite things to do are to play with toys, ride in cars, and he particularly loves to play in water!

Rusty is a sweet and gentle Mastiff / Lab mix that is approximately 2.5 years old. When we rescued him, he was missing most of his fur and had a lot of open wounds on his skin. His vet exam determined that he had severe demodex mange which required 3 medicated baths a week along with frequent bedding changes. Surprisingly, he is heart worm negative! His foster mom has been treating his mange and is starting to see his wounds heal as well as some new fur growth. Rusty is calm with anyone and everyone that he meets including all four legged animals. He is very patient and just wants to feel loved. Right now he does not have a lot of energy, ... (Read More)but we can understand considering he doesn't feel well. He does not display bad behaviors and prefers dog beds over a crate if given the choice. He is crate trained and a dream on a leash. He has just about grasped house breaking and basic obedience. We suspect this will not be a problem once he gains more energy. If you are interested in Rusty or any of our other dogs, please feel free to email us at: info@bullpenrescue.org. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We highly recommend that our potential adopters fill out an online application as soon as possible, as it greatly expedites the process of finding the right dog for your situation.

Rufus is a great dog. He's protective and loving and affectionate. He's significantly better behaved/calmer with a walk in the morning. Two walks a day is ideal. Bad behavior for Rufus is overly energetic, running in the house and scratching and barking at the door. He had a very rough start to life, abused and starved then abandoned at a doggy day care. We love our dog and worked very hard with him to help through his territorial and trust issues when he first arrived with us. Unfortunately he has not adjusted well to our 17 month old and as she gets more mobile the urgency to find a new home for Rufus grows. Please help. We'd love a ...

Mastiff Dogs can make good pets in Louisiana if they match your IifestyIe. The Old English Mastiff is a massive breed. Mastiffs are very gentle toward their families. This is an intelligent, protective breed that makes a good guard dog but is unlikely to attack unless severely provoked. Mastiffs behave well with children but should be watched with little ones because of their large size. Mastiffs need gentle training and socialization from an early age. Mastiffs can live in an apartment or a home with a small yard.
